Passenger, rear and transmission side mounts were all bad in some form or fashion. The passenger and trans were the worst.

I’ve got a later model where supposedly the issue has been dealt with... supposedly...

I have one of those in my basement. 

One of the first things I did to my car was replace that thing with a solid rubber mount. Made a huge difference.

Yeah, with the rough roads here, the shocks were done for and the mounts took a beating. I’m hoping this cures the majority of the odd issues I’d noticed.

This is my wife’s car so I didn’t get to drive it very often lol!

Replace with OEM. It’ll feel like a new car.

Yup. Didn’t go with fancy performance mounts because then I’d have to listen to my wife complain about the vibrations.

My wife might not notice, but she would try to because she knows it matters to me. She’s good to me that way and other ways. But I have a fair bit of experience with engine mounts and I am adamant that OE is the only way to go. Take a car with 100k+ miles on it and replace the engine mounts and the improvement can be quite dramatic.
